Why is it important?
The findings demonstrate that businesses managed by women experienced a more severe impact from the pandemic, leading to a higher likelihood of temporary closure. These results underscore the disproportionate effect of the crisis on women entrepreneurs within the informal sector and emphasize the necessity for tailored measures to support this vulnerable population during and after the pandemic.
Perspectives
The effect of the crisis on firms is more severe for female managers. Some measures should address the challenges faced business women.
